		<description><![CDATA[The above graph shows the revision of the RSS-MSU temperature history. Blue shades signify upward corrections and dark yellow shades signify downward corrections, resulting in an overall decrease of global warming from 0.169 to 0.159° per decade.  Temperature graphs of various metrics draw closer together. Until 2003 they were &#8220;all over the place&#8221; (see &#8220;reasononline&#8221;). After correction in 2003, John Christy&#8221; stated in an e-mail to &#8220;reasononline&#8221; dryly: &#8220;The previous linear extrapolation indicated a temperature of +0.9 C +/- 0.5 C in 2100, the new data indicate a temperature of +1.2 +/- 0.5 C.&#8221; This was consistent with 0.12 C warming per decade at that time. At the same time, RSS made upward corrections on their own. But &#8220;reasononline&#8221; continued: &#8220;However, the Remote Sensing Systems team has made some additional adjustments, such that their global trend is 0.193 degrees per decade. Christy and Spencer disagree with those additional RSS adjustments, but acknowledge that it&#8217;s an open scientific question which team is correct.&#8221; This open scientific question led Mears et al., 2003 to publicly rebuke the Spencer and Christy version and performed trends for a seperate &#8220;channel&#8221; (in 4000 &#8211; 7000 m altitude) which they claimed to reconfirm their earlier findings.

		<description><![CDATA[Solar Signature Versus Carbon Fingerprint in Climate Modelling  The Royal Meteorological Society is a bit more controversial when it comes to dealing with the impacts of climate change than its sister, the Met Office Hadley Centre of the U.K. They recently accepted a research paper entitled: &#8216;A comparison of tropical temperature trends with model predicitons&#8217;, although the abstract was signed by known skeptics of AGW: David H. Douglass, John R. Christy, Benjamin D. Pearson and ole icon Dr. Fred Singer! The abstract  is anything but diplomatic. This is how it reads: We examine tropospheric temperature trends of 67 runs from 22 Climate of the 20th Century model simulations and try to reconcile them with the best available updated observations (in the tropics during the satellite era). Model results and observed temperature trends are in disagreement in most of the tropical troposphere, being separated by more than twice the uncertainty of the model mean. In layers near 5 km, the modelled trend is 100 to 300% higher than observed, and, above 8 km, modelled and observed trends have opposite signs. These conclusions contrast strongly with those of recent publications based on essentially the same data. Singer even stated in a press release by &#8216;Science &#38; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Source: warwickhughes.com For over a decade the IPCC has published global temperature trends distorted by purely local warmth from Urban Heat Islands (UHI&#8217;s). This is not the statement of just another global warming sceptic blog. It is the conclusion according to a paper published online by Warwick Hughes, a freelance earth scientist from Australia. Urban Heat Islands (UHI) In the above map, the areas with significant warming throughout the last hundred years show a large red dot. The larger the red dot, the more regional warming has occurred on the respective station. The big cities on the U.S. East coast show significant warming. Around Greenland, blue (cooling) dots are close to red dots. In Russia, Central Asia and China, large areas show warming of up to 4 degrees C. Very few stations measure sea surface temperatures and hardly any are located in the hot and cold deserts of this planet. So where is the warming? Mostly over growing heat islands which were supposedly taken into account when calculating the adjusted global temperature record. Hughes&#8217; paper focuses on Russian datasets which lack credibility in his opinion. Hughes is not the only one who questions the claims of Jones et al. and [...]]]></description>
